EP.127 And Then There Were None (5)
As soon as they entered Yoo Sungjun’s mory, the first thing they saw was a dark stone chamber and an altar.
A beam of white light descended from the center of the not-so-large do-shaped ceiling, serving as illumination and giving the place a sacred feel.
It resembled a temple from a dark fantasy ga.
Yoo Sungjun was kneeling on the stone floor in front of the altar, shirtless.
His physique was impressively robust for soone in his fifties.
Crackle— Scratch— Scratch—
Surrounding him were people in various attire, from suits to casual wear, all holding carving knives and cutting into his flesh.
They seed to be inscribing words on Yoo Sungjun’s body with his blood.
’That person is...’
Alice recognized two of them. They were famous figures.
The black man in a neat suit was Arnold Carlson, the U.S. Secretary of State. In Yu Parang’s holand, he was akin to the President of the United States.
Next to him was a woman with blonde hair, wearing jeans, a white T-shirt, and a leather jacket—Belle Brown, the North Arican Continental Director.
Both were bigwigs of the World Governnt.
This ant that the people surrounding Yoo Sungjun were all high-ranking officials of the World Governnt.
Considering the overall context, it seed Yoo Sungjun was being prepared as a sacrificial material for a ritual to raise the water level of the Monster Fish layer.
The eerie yet sohow solemn atmosphere of the silent stone chamber, where only the sound of flesh being cut echoed, was unsettling.
Alice, feeling slightly intimidated without realizing it, asked Yu Parang, "Is this footage from a few hours before his death?"
"Hold on..."
Yu Parang hesitated, unable to answer confidently. There was no particular reason, just that it was her first ti diving into a mory.
When Xiao handled it so smoothly, it seed easy, but being the one entering the mory was quite different.
This skill was surprisingly tricky to operate.
Yu Parang, flustered by the complex and unintelligible interface before her eyes, began to sweat.
She tried pressing various buttons, but nothing made sense.
The scene before Alice and Yu Parang shifted erratically, stopping, speeding up, slowing down, rewinding, and even inverting colors.

It seed they could even play background music.

anwhile, at Xiao’s residence.
"Huh?"
She pulled out a bundle of papers that was sticking out awkwardly among the tightly packed books on her shelf.
"This is..."
- Dive Skill User Manual
It was the user manual for ’Dive’ that she had personally written to send to Yu Parang.
But finding it now in Xiao’s bookshelf ant...
’I must have forgotten to send it.’
With everything being so hectic lately, Xiao often made such silly mistakes.
’Maybe I should start ditating again.’
She neatly wrapped the bundle of papers and asked soone to deliver it to Yu Parang.
"Please send this to Yu Parang. Take a roundabout route."
"Understood."
"Thank you."
’Well, it should be fine.’
Xiao lay on her bed without much thought and turned on her phone.
The screen displayed a community forum.
[ Even on a second look, the necromancer sister is seriously gorgeous ]
(The post was filled with Xiao’s photos and GIFs. The author lanted that they would continue in the next post due to the image attachnt limit.)
